，but it has reached the point ﹝38﹞I hate living here.
It has reached the point that I hate living here.
reach the point 指 到達某一點，亦即 ‘達到某程度’。
從屬連接詞 that 引出名詞子句做同位語來表示名詞。
N that n. cl.
that 引出的名詞子句是可用來修飾名詞的，亦即是做名詞的同位語（appositive）。
這一點要與 that 引出的形容詞子句修飾名詞有所區別。
＊比較下列兩個句子中名詞的修飾語相同否？
(A) The news that/ which you brought to her was a great shock to her.
(B) The news that her son had been killed was a great shock to her.
結論：
(A) 第一句的 that 是關係代名詞，引出的是形容詞子句，that 代替 the news 在子句中它是做 brought 的受詞。 that 可換成 which 或可省略。
(B) 第二句的 that 是連接詞，引出的是名詞子句， that 不可換成 which ，也不可省略。
